Method
Preparation
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the tablespoon of olive oil and allow it to heat up.
- Introduce the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it softens and becomes translucent.
- Add the ground beef into the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until the meat is browned and no longer pink, draining any excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper, mixing well to combine the seasonings with the beef and onion.
- Add the uncooked white rice into the skillet, stirring to coat it with the beef and onion mixture.
- Pour in the beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, and diced tomatoes with green chilies, stirring everything together.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed.
- Once the rice is ready, remove the skillet from heat and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream, stirring until the cheese melts and the mixture is creamy.
- Adjust the seasoning as needed and serve hot.

Notes
This casserole is a fantastic make-ahead dish. Prepare it the night before and pop it in the oven when ready to serve. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of beef broth or water if too thick. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add vegetables for extra nutrition.
